    I really want to play this again but I don’t think I’ll emotionally survive Midna’s lament again! The music in Twilight Princess was amazing! The Hyrule Castle theme slowly morphing into Ganondorf’s theme still gives me shivers.

    I saw this released and set it up. Hopefully this time I finally make it through Twilight Princess because I really want to learn to love it how everyone else does

      It’s a slow burn, and it undoubtedly sags in the middle - the massive empty spaces tip over from ‘epic’ into ‘time wasting’. But it benefits hugely from telling a very personal drama with a lot of character development, and it has one of the darkest stories of any Zelda game. The Gamecube version has much sharper controls than the Wii version, so is the much better choice to reimplement. Hope you enjoy - I’m a big fan of this game, and set this up to play last night, it’s really smooth.

        Also, fun fact: the Wii version is completely mirrored. Like, completely flipped horizontally. Maps, characters, everything.

        This is because they realized that most people are right-handed (unlike Link) and they hold the Wiimote with the right hand. So, instead of changing all the animations to make Link use the right hand, they decided the mirror the whole game.

    I just tried this on an iPhone 13 and it runs like a charm. No touch controls so only works with a controller or keyboard.

    Downloaded before Nintendo strikes (yeah the project is legal, but also it’s on GitHub)

    Been playing this, and it’s great! Started right up at 9x resolution, wasn’t too hard to setup a high quality texture pack, and the game is looking sharp at 4k/120 without any issues!

    Things look great, and this launching with features like gyro aim, free cam, and QoL like fast climbing and skipping that damn rupee cutscene is phenomenal.

    Also, man, can’t wait to come back to this in a year or two with a randomizer and whatever other features they can pack in here.

      I’m glad we have high res options but I always immediately set these to 1x res. I ❤️ the jaggies.

        To be fair, at this time the game was still being designed on CRTs (LCDs existed but everything except footprint size was a downgrade - and they still are if you ask me), so the intended way to play the game from the artists perspective is still at 1x on a CRT, which effectively masks pixels edges with the CRTs inherent picture softening.

        Yeah, I love that they so easily provide a “faithful” and “enhanced” version. One button at startup and it runs just like it would on the GameCube, or you can go all out like me!

    Bonus, here’s a great Reddit comment that helped me setup a texture pack. Really helps with how soupy those Wii/GC grass and rock textures look at high resolution: https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/1t8rtet/comment/okx8awj/

    I’ll add bonus instructions on how to copy the file to bypass Google drives download limit. I had to create a new folder in Google Drive, click the kebab menu on the file, “Create a Shortcut” into that folder, and then go into my drive and download the folder. Seems to cheat Drive’s download limit, and I imagine that’ll be a problem for the next little while now that Dusk has released.

    Will a Wii dump work with this? I find it difficult to decipher the exact requirements for making this work.

        Dang. My private torrent tracker only had the Wii and Wii U versions. And I only have the Wii physical disc. Alright, thanks!

          Sounds like an opportunity to find it yourself and then be the first to upload it, right when a whole bunch of other people are about to suddenly decide they need it too.

            Wish I could, I don’t have a DVD reader at all. I don’t know anyone who has a PC with one in the last decade lol.

    I will be downloading this and trying it later today!

    I’ve been having issues with games on my Linux mint setup and if this doesn’t work I may finally switch to a different flavor os

      Bazzite has been fantastic for me, it could be for you too!

      It’s unlikely that whatever issue you’re having with your games is because of the desktop environment.

        If your system is all-AMD, then it’s amazing how well Linux just works. Turn it on, hardware accelerated everything.

        If you’ve got NVidia anywhere near it, that’s not so much the case. If Mint is being a bit dodgy, then I would have used to recommend trying it with Pop!, since that has pretty good driver support out of the box. Probably outdated advice, something like Bazzite might make more sense now, but I’ve not used it first hand. Partly because my system is all-AMD and just works, but also because I run Arch btw.

          Bazzite has been my personal best experience with Linux, saying this with a Nvidia gpu, have had very few issues using for about a year now!

    Really excited for the randomizer mode, will try that out once it’s ready
